Definitions
- the present invention relates to an integral ring-locked insert or stud of the type described in the precharacterizing portion of claim 1.
- Inserts installed in a workpiece provide a means for attachment of an object to the workpiece. Inserts are used when the stress requirements are greater than provided by the workpiece. An insert can distribute the stress over a much greater area and can be harder material than would be provided by the workpiece alone.
- An example of an insert is a plug-like object having external threads to bite into or cooperate with the workpiece material. The insert also has internal threads for receiving the male threads of a cooperating piece.
- Studs in contrast provide an anchor for attachment of objects to a workpiece.
- a stud secures to a workpiece with male threads but itself provides male threads for cooperating with a female threaded nut or other fastening means.
- the threads of the insert and stud can be of hardened material, much harder than the workpiece. It is not uncommon to also provide against the backing out of the threads due to vibration.
- the action used may often entail keeping track of separate lock rings which bite into the workpiece and by coacting with the insert of stud and the workpiece they prevent rotational movement.
- a ring-locked insert according to the precharacterizing portion of claim 1, is described having a body portion and a lock ring portion integrally connected together by a radially extending interconnection.
- Fig. 4 of US-A-3 179 144 a ring-locked insert is shown with the outer teeth of the serrated portion terminating short of the interconnection and the inner radial grooves of the lock ring terminating short of the body portion top surface.
- the axial length of meshing engagement between the outer teeth and the inner radial grooves, with the lock ring in its locking position is limited to a relatively short axial portion of the teeth and groove. This may affect the safe retention of the body of the insert by the lock ring.
- the object of the invention is to provide an integral ring-locked insert or stud which provides improved retention of the insert or stud by the lock ring.
- the ring-locked insert or stud according to the invention is characterized by said cylindrical surface and the teeth of the serrated portion extending to the interconnecting means, the cylindrical inner surface and the radial grooves of the lock ring extending to the body top surface, and the interconnecting means being oriented normal with respect to the body top surface.
- the teeth of the serrated portion are now engagable by the radial grooves of the lock ring over the full axial length thereof, thus provided improved retention of the insert or stud by the lock ring.
- the ring is connected to the insert or stud by metal tabs or a metal strip, of the same material as the stud or insert, that is broken upon installation of the lock ring into the workpiece.
- a special tool is used for installation of the lock ring.
- the lock ring after being broken from the stud or insert, rotationally couples to the balance of the fastener through meshing of the internal teeth of the lock ring and the external teeth of the fastener. The rough edges of the metal tabs or strip are shattered during installation.
- the mode illustrated contemplates an insert or stud externally threaded for threaded receipt in the workpiece.
- the insert has a lock ring on one end which faces outward from the workpiece. This is formed when the insert is manufactured. The external threads of the insert are formed afterwards.
- the lock ring is connected to the insert by small metal tabs or a metal strip of the same material as the insert is made of, which is broken during installation of the lock ring.
- the studs are manufactured similarly.
- the lock ring is first formed as attached to the center of the stud with metal tabs or a metal strip. Both the tabs and strip are formed of the same parent material as the stud. Different threads are then formed on the top and bottom shanks of the stud.
- an insert body 10 of the present invention has a connected lock ring 11.
- the insert has external threads 12 running down its length.
- Metal tabs or bars 13 or a metal ring (not shown) of the same patent material as the insert hold the lock ring 11 to the insert 10 prior to installation.
- a bore 14 in the workpiece is internally threaded 16 to receive the insert.
- the insert 10 is also internally threaded 15 with a pilot or champher 19 that guides a male threaded fastener (not shown) into the insert.
- the lock ring 11 has external teeth or serrations 17 that bite or swage their way into the workpiece upon installation.
- Internal grooves 18 of the lock ring cooperatively engage with the external teeth 20 of the insert, after the metal tabs 13 or the metal strip is broken and the lock ring 11 installed in the workpiece. This is illustrated in Figure 2.
- the internal grooves may be the shape shown or any geometric shape or design may dictate.
- the metal tabs 13 are composed of thin parent metal left behind during the formation of the insert and lock ring.
- the major diameter of the insert 10 does not exceed the inside diameter of lock ring 11 so that no difficulty is experienced installing the lock ring 11 upon the insert 10.
- the external teeth 17 on the ring 11 are angled to facilitate entrance into the workpiece. Interior grooves 18 are in this mode 90° typically and accommodate the external teeth 20 of the insert.
- Figure 3 illustrates a stud 40 with the lock ring 41 held in place by metal tabs or bars 42, or a metal ring (not shown), of the same parent material as the metal stud.
- the upper and lower portion 49 and 43 respectively is covered with threads which may be of a different size.
- the lock ring 41 is then displaced using a special tool (not shown).
- the lock ring 41 coacts with the external teeth 45 on the center section 46 of the stud by accommodating the teeth 45 in the internal grooves 47. These grooves may be of any geometric design besides the mode illustrated.
- the lock ring 41 is anchored by the workpiece material 44 which it swages or bites into with its external teeth 48 when forced into the workpiece during installation.
- the lock ring 41 thus prevents rotation of the stud 40, after being installed in the workpiece.
- the upper thread 49 of the stud which may be a different size from the lower threaded 43 is rolled on after the lock ring 41 is formed.
